The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was operated at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 and 8TeV for proton-proton collisions in Run I. The CMS and ATLAS detectors both collected approximately 20 $fb^{-1}$ of 8TeV data in the data taking…
The LHC detectors are well into their construction phase. The LHC schedule shows first beam to ATLAS and CMS in 2007. Because the LHC accelerator has begun to plan for a ten fold increase in LHC design luminosity (the SLHC or super LHC) it…
